The benefits of IT Security Services for your business

Cybercriminals are continuously developing new methods to breach security defences. Whether it is phishing, ransomware, or DDoS attacks, the tactics are becoming more advanced. With increased cyber attacks targeting businesses, staying ahead with proactive security measures is crucial.

• Enhanced security posture: With Syntax IT Security Services, your business will benefit from a comprehensive security framework that protects against current and emerging threats. This framework safeguards your data and enhances your overall security posture, making your business more resilient.
• Regulatory compliance: Ensure compliance with industry regulations such as GDPR, PCI DSS, CIS, ISO 27001, the NIST Cyber Security Framework, and the Data Protection Act 2018. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines and legal issues. Our solutions ensure you meet all regulatory requirements, avoid potential penalties, and protect your reputation.
• Reduced downtime: Cyber attacks can cripple your business operations. Our proactive security measures and real-time monitoring reduce the risk of breaches, ensuring your business experiences minimal downtime. This keeps your operations running smoothly and efficiently.
• Increased customer trust: Security breaches can erode customer trust. Protecting your business with top-tier security solutions demonstrates a commitment to safeguarding customer data. This builds trust and loyalty, which are crucial for long-term success.
• Cost savings: Investing in IT security can save your business money in the long run. The cost of a data breach far exceeds the investment in robust security measures. By preventing breaches, you avoid the financial losses associated with data recovery, legal fees, and reputational damage.

Firewall security management is one of the essential services we provide, and is important for any business’s security framework. A firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic, based on rules set by IT administrators.

As such, it can provide a security barrier between your trusted internal networks and alien external networks, effectively safeguarding networks and hardware. We can help you make the most of your firewall in order to discourage hackers from targeting your business.

Penetration testing is another essential service. This involves testing the effectiveness of your cyber security measures by mimicking the actions of a hacker and trying to break through your defences. This hands-on approach provides a clear understanding of where your security measures succeed and where they fall short, giving you the knowledge you need to protect your business and improve your security measures before an incident occurs, rather than after.

All of the above are essential features of a comprehensive managed security service and can be handled by Syntax’s expert team on an ongoing basis.

A security operations centre houses an information security team responsible for monitoring and analysing your business’s security alerts on a real-time basis. By detecting, analysing and responding to cyber security incidents, a security operations centre – or SOC – can provide solutions and processes designed around your specific cyber security needs.

The SOC is responsible for ensuring that potential cyber security incidents are correctly identified, analysed, investigated, reported and defended, mitigating the damage to your business. They can help you develop a clear strategy in order to improve your overall defences.

Cyber crime can come in many different forms, and as threats continue to evolve, it is important that businesses stay in the loop about where the danger lies. Our proactive threat intelligence can help you gain a better understanding of cyber security and put the necessary steps in place to protect your business as usual.

Six of the most common security threats are:

1. Cyber crime: stealing data and monetising cyberattacks.
2. Hacktivism: hacking networks in order to access data, pull systems down and cause chaos.
3. Insiders: when someone exploits their legitimate access to an organisation’s assets for unauthorised purposes.
4. Physical threats: the threat of fire, flood, power cuts or other natural disasters to digital services.
5. Cyber terrorism: large scale data deletion attacks by terrorist groups.
6. Espionage: the unauthorised access and use of sensitive data by foreign intelligence agencies.

Through effective security monitoring and vulnerability management by our security experts, we can protect your organisation against all six kinds of security threat.

Acting before an incident occurs, rather than afterwards, can save your business time, money and reputational damage. Data security is an essential factor in any modern business, regardless of the industry or maturity of an organisation.

It can also help to prevent the disruption of your usual business services, which means no downtime or loss of profits, and can protect IT systems and networks from exploitation by outsiders.

Cyber security is not an isolated area. It impacts every facet of your business, from your productivity to your reputation and more. By putting the right managed security services in place now to protect your data and achieve compliance, you can keep downtime to a minimum, keep productivity high, give your team members peace of mind and protect your vital assets.

It lets your customers, clients and shareholders know that you take their digital safety seriously, and will greatly reduce your risk of being hit with a hefty fine should you fall victim to a cyber attack.
